I have bought my property and have right of way on my deeds

This answer was rated:

★★★★★

I have bought my property and have right of way on my deeds along the back of my neighbours property, my neighbour has blocked my access however I haven't any problem with this as I have front and rear entry to my property what I do have a problem with is a company is now acting on her behalf asking me for £70 per year maintenance cost for the path (despite no work EVER being done on this) I feel this is unreasonable given I don't have access to the path and have never used it, I have only been in the house6 months and my neighbour 1 year it seems this was set up before we both moved in

I would be happy giving up my right of way legally if this would solve me being responsible for costs fora path I have no access to, my neighbour and I have a good relationship she would help me resolve this

Your question has been passed to me. I am a solicitor in Scotland. Don't pay the bill if no work has been done. Your title deeds will, however, make you liable for payment of common repairs. If the neighbour has blocked your access you should apply to the Lands Tribunal for Scotland to have the burden of maintenance in your title deeds quashed. You can contact the lands tribunal here: http://www.lands-tribunal-scotland.org.uk I hope that helps. Please leave a positive rating so that I am credited for my time.
